Rating: 3.5I'm not entirely sure what I think about this book. At times it was extremely boring and at other times, I couldn't put it down. It was a slow read but it was interesting. I really liked seeing the relationship between the father and the son. Their conversations were short but I enjoyed t...
In a post-apocalyptic future, the Earth has been ravaged, nothing left but cold and ash. In this inhospitable world, there is a road, and on that road a nameless man and boy on an endless journey of survival. They encounter few, starving and frozen, and those they do encounter are as wretched as the...
Salvation in a can About half-way through the book, I had my mind made up. The father and the son will be dying epically, either by starvation or eaten alive by cannibals, all that for nothing, and we, (chances are, McCarthy would refer affectionately us as “the reader”) would be faced with the irr...

Sometimes you read a "great" or critically acclaimed book and all you can think is "What?!?! WHY?" This is a Pulitzer Prize winner, and I have no idea why. I will admit I was skeptical from the first. This is not my first post-apocalyptic book, movie or video game. And my response to the promos for ...
This is the darkest book ever written. Not in a sad way, just in a ridiculously dark foggy murky post apocalyptic bleak way.Basically, a man and his son survival on the road few years after the world ends.A few random thoughts:1. Favorite parts were probably the conversations between father and son,...
